In this episode, I give a recap of most of the insanity which has happened since Trump fired FBI director Comey. I can't do all of it, because who's got that kind of time? Still, thinks may not be as bleak as they seem at the moment.

We gabbed an awful lot, so I'm splitting this episode into at least 2 parts.

Topics covered on this episode include:

Ken Ham's white elephant, Catholic bishop steps down over protecting pedophile priests, that Google plans to kill you with a robot that can unload the dishwasher after you're dead, cheaper hydrogen production, and more.

This episode is Appendix A of Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions in which he lays out the case for the Asiatic origins of the peoples of the Americas. Elements of his argument have since been supported by DNA studies. Other parts of his arguments have been rendered irrelevant by those discoveries and the discoveries of extinct mega-fauna in the Americas.

This episode wraps up the 'Conclusion' chapter in Doane's book fairly early, so I round out the episode by covering some news stories. One of which, I have to say, dovetails nicely into the theory that Antigonus II Mattathias was the source for the myth of Christ.

I will also apologize for some audio weirdness, as that was caused both by my having to record this in different parts, and well, my laughing hysterically at some of the things which Doane says in the chapter. Trust me, you'll have to hear them to believe how funny they are.

In this episode I read from the chapter in Doane's book where he attempts to figure out who Jesus might have been. Much of the evidence which Doane lays out so far makes it more plausible, in my opinion, that there never was a Jesus, and that the character is just as fictional as many of the others in the Bible.

In this chapter, Doane cites a number of pieces of information which indicate that the authors of the Gospels had no idea what they were talking about. Including such things as getting the geography wrong and the like.

This is absolutely one confusing chapter from Bible Myths. Doane starts talking about possible Indian origins for religion, and then we get into the age of the various books of the New Testament. Which is when it gets confusing. Doane's dating for when the books were written is out of date, but in looking up the reasons why scholar's now ascribe certain dates to the books of the New Testament, much of their logic escapes me, for reasons you'll hear in the episode.

I don't completely agree with everything Doane says in this chapter, and there are some elements which are somewhat confusing, that won't get explained better until a future episode. Still, there are elements of what Doane wrote which I'm sure did play a part in the spread of Christianity.

This episode is part one of my interview with singer/song writer Shelley Segal. I had hoped to just make the entire episode my interview with her, but with the recent events in Paris, I felt that I had to address those, as well as a few other things, and that meant I had to split this interview into two parts. That means the interview ends kind of abruptly, but there really wasn't any other way I could do it.

I also want to apologize for some weird audio effects you'll no doubt hear in the interview. Its a problem caused by the fact that the PC I used to record the interview was just so damned old, and there's no way to fix the recording. I had no idea that it was going to have that kind of problems, if I had, there are a few things that I might have been able to do to fix it. My apologies to both your ears, and to Ms. Segal.

Next episode will be a chapter from Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions, and if the chapter's short enough (don't hold your breath), the rest of my interview with Shelley.

Doane wraps this up by quoting from some ancient Indian texts which pre-date the Old Testament, but say nearly identical things to both the Old and the New Testaments. The chapter finishes up at about the 30 minute mark, so I spend the rest of the episode discussing news stories which I hadn't been able to cover in previous episodes.

This episode is a little heavy on the politics, but the story about the orgasmic mushrooms and kids getting prosthetics that are as cool as anything you've seen in a movie are worth a listen.

Topics covered include: the Dalai Lama discusses his replacement, Scalia skips Papal address to Congress, Fox commentator calls the Pope a "false prophet," defectors complain that ISIS is "corrupt," breakthrough in quantum communication, the birth of the Borg in Washington state, two new candidates enter the Presidential race, another one drops out, and John Boehner calls it quits, plus much, much more!

This episode is chapter 35 of Bible Myths, entitled The Trinity. It, as usual, shows that the concept of 3-in-1 gods isn't at all unique to Christianity. (Surprise!) Its a bit longer than usual, but I didn't want to chop up the chapter into two parts.

A bit shorter episode than usual, because the chapter didn't quite fill out the hour. In this chapter, Doane reveals the Christian church copied the idea for Christmas from other religions, and that similar such celebrations are found on Dec. 25th in even societies which never heard of Christianity. I also rant about my idiot roommate's stupidity, and give a brief update on Beth from The Beyond the Trailer Park Podcast, as she recovers from a stroke.

Suffice it to say, that baptism pre-dates Christianity, and even Judaism by a good number of years. Its not even a ritual unique to the Mid-East or Asia, but was found in the Americas and other nations long before the Christians showed up.

It took me about half an hour to edit 5 minutes worth of audio, so she's graciously agreed to rerecord the episode later on this week with me. I wasn't able to spend the time I'd planned on gathering stories to make a news episode, as it took my brother and I longer than I expected to fix the fridge. Its still uncertain if its fully repaired. Have to wait and see what happens after it cools down. But I did manage to come up with a few news stories for your listening pleasure.

Stories I cover include: Volcanos spotted on exo-solar planet, an improved 3D printed pistol, South Africa requires HIV+ people to be tattooed with this information above their genitals, and the Republican clown car picks up a few more riders.

This episode is a bit of rambling one, since I had to put in a lot of overtime at work this week, but I talk about an anti-science Christian preacher in TN, Texans thinking they're about to be invaded by the federal government and shipped off to FEMA camps located inside of Walmarts, the book "Going Clear," Fuzznuts being a PITA, and more.

I posted them last night, then as I was editing the podcast, realized I needed to add some more information, so if you looked at them before you downloaded this podcast, you'll probably want to check them again.

This episode I read from Chapter 24 of TW Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in other religions, which talks about the Second Coming of Jesus and the New Millenium said to follow his return. I also talk about my guest appearance (assuming all went well) on the Bar Room Atheist Podcast with Heretic Woman from the Beyond the Trailer Park Podcast. And I go "cat fishing" for Professor Fuzznuts.

Thanks for listening!

It clocks in at an hour and twenty minutes and tells the story of Samson, the strong man, and how he's most likely a sun god from an earlier religious tradition that has been adapted by the writer of the book of Judges to a heroic figure.

This episode also has some listener email, from a listener in Taiwan who's started a couple of atheist groups in the city where he lives.

Its only about 30 minutes worth of material, so the rest of the episode consists of news stories. Think of it as a bonus news episode, rather than being deprived of more of Doane's work.

In this episode, we cover chapters 3 -5 which deal with child sacrifice (What exactly was Abraham up to when he took Isaac out?), the Tower of Babel, and how Jacob's dream about angels climbing a ladder is about reincarnation and penis worship. You can download an ebook version of Bible Myths for free here. The section of Judges which deals with child sacrifice can be found here. If you need more information on baby killin' you might want to read up on Moloch. And for the dick worshipping, here ya go.
